Michigan Has Just Legalized Marijuana, Why would I Still Want My Medical Marijuana Card Now?

If your are age 18 and over but still under 21 and are interested in legally using marijuana for medicinal purposes (whether growing your own plants or purchasing your medicine from a dispensary), you will need a medical marijuana card in the state of Michigan. Our doctors truly believe in the marijuana plant and its medicinal capabilities. Come on in and explain your situation to the doctor preferably with some form of medical records (even scars and prescription pill bottles are helpful). Worse case scenario is if you don't qualify, you don't pay anything and in some cases just may be asked to come back with specific forms of records, etc.

2) Gain Access to Dispensaries/provisioning centers

Michigan has finally legalized Recreational Marijuana

in the this years (2018) mid term elections.It is now legal in Michigan for us to possess and transport 2.5 ounces of cured Marijuana outside of our homes and 10 ounces plus 12 plants inside of our homes if your 21 years of age or older. This is a huge victory for the cannabis community and the rest of the citizens of our amazing state. The problem is, similar to Colorado it is expected that retail licensing will not become available to the public for possibly 2 years which means until sometime in 2020-21. With that said the 2 ways to obtain clean, medical grade, lab tested, and pesticide free Marijuana requires you to have a Michigan Medical Marijuana Program Card/license. Once obtained one way will be to purchase your meds from a provisioning center/dispensary, and the other would be to purchase it from a good caregiver.

3)Become a caregiver/ Grow more than 12 plants

Under Recreational legalization laws we cannot stack rights to grow more than 12 plants per household

(this means no matter how many people live in a single residence a maximum of 12 plants are allowed to be grown on the premises).

While that part of legalization really sucks ... here is the silver lining to that cloud:

The ushering in of new legalized Recreational Marijuana laws and regulations in Michigan has not changed our already in place Medical Marijuana laws from the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act of 2008.

[("This act does not limit any privileges, rights,
immunities, or defenses of a person as provided in the Michigan medical
marihuana act, 2008 IL 1, MCL 333.26421 to 333.26430, the medical marihuana
facilities licensing act, 2016 PA 281, MCL 333.27101 to 333.27801, or any other
law of this state allowing for or regulating marihuana for medical use.")]

What this means for you is that you still have the right to become a patient or caregiver even in this new legalized environment. As a patient you can still grow 12 plants (and possess 2.5 ounces) for your self or assign a caregiver to grow that for you. As a caregiver you can grow up to 12 plants and possess 2.5 ounces for each patient that you have and you can have up to 5 patients. If you yourself are both a patient and caregiver, you can max out growing

72 plants and possessing 15 ounces under the old patient/caregiver laws alone.

4) Prepare your Empire

It's no secret that once the State Of Michigan does start to issue recreational business licenses to go along with the current patient/caregiver and commercial licensing and regulations the potential for Marijuana/cannabis businesses and profits in our great great state will be HUGE its considered the modern day gold rush... well lets call it the GREEN RUSH. Obviously we're kidding but the truth is there is plenty of potential and why wait 1-2 years to get started? Bring a couple patients in to see the doctor and become a caregiver today. Why not begin to learn, help patients obtain their medicine by growing it and selling it to them while learning and laying the foundation for what could be your HUGE future LEGAL business empire. Here is a link to a local news article that doesn't explain everything, but has some

With Michigan marijuana legalization and the new recreational regulations on the way everyone knew

there would be some tax involved right?

Here it is. Recreational Dispensary/Retail customers will have to pay A 10% excise tax plus a typical 6% Michigan sales tax on purchased Marijuana. Yikes that is a 16% tax on all Marijuana sold! While that will be great for our state considering how that money will be allocated, it will also add up to hundreds if not thousands of dollars extra a year we will pay for our cannabis. The silver lining to that cloud is that Michigan Medical Marijuana patients are not only not expected to pay that 10% tax but are also going to only pay 3% of that 6% sales tax! YAY! (: Who doesn't like to save money and especially on their medicine? So to clarify Recreational consumers will pay a 16% tax on all recreational marijuana and/or products and Medical Marijuana card holders will pay just a 3% tax on all recreational marijuana and/or products.

6) Get Access to higher quality Marijuana

It is expected that recreational dispensaries will not be able to sell products that contain a certain level of potency to anyone without a Medical Marijuana Certification and Medical Marijuana card. | I have mine do you have yours? (we're kidding) :)|

7) Assign a Caregiver receive discounted or free meds

When applicable I think everyone who consumes cannabis in Michigan should have a great caregiver that can provide them with discounted, or in some cases even a little free medicine every harvest! (Note* Every patient and caregiver agrees to their own specific terms) I mean why not get one/keep one? A great caregiver is a very valuable asset! Over the years at Natures Answer we have even seen quite a few great caregivers that even have great caregivers for themselves! Great caregivers are not the easiest people to find and with that said If you currently have one or know of one, stay with them or try to get on the team of one. If you don't have a caregiver and are not seeking to grow your own 12 plants

you should get a great one ASAP! They save you money!

8)NO HASSLE/ EXTRA PROTECTION

Here at Natures Answer LLC we offer professional, painless, and hassle-free Medical Marijuana Card Certifications that are performed by Medical Marijuana Doctors that truly believe in this amazing plant. Our doctors are board certified and in good standing with the board and are pro MMMP! Our doctors have always went up to bat for their patients and been there for them when needed. Michigan Medical Marijuana Card patients will enjoy all of the same protections from law enforcement as they always have plus the the recreational protections just voted into law.

Recreational customers also don't have the option to get a release for disclosure from the State of Michigan LARA/MMMP/BMR agencies. These documents don't necessarily prevent anything but these official documents presented on your behalf may truly help in some situations with employers, landlords, etc.

The Michigan Medical Marihuana Program (MMMP) is a state registry program within the Bureau of Health Professions at the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. The program will administer the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act as approved by Michigan voters on November 4, 2008. The program will implement the statutory tenets of this act in such a manner that protects the public and assures the confidentiality of its participants.

27,128 active registered primary caregivers.

33,747 applications denied -- most due to incomplete application or missing documentation.
